Isobel's Wedding

As always, Sheila O'Flanagan does not disappoint...much. The book was engrossing and entertaining. The descriptions of life in Spain were wonderful and I felt like I was right there with Isobel. But...I found Isobel to be somewhat annoyingly oblivious to Tim and her relationship with him. However, this is realistic because we've all probably had friends dating men that everyone in the world can see through except for the girl. Or even ourselves! Overall, though, Isobel was likeable and I found myself staying up late last night to see what happened to her. The ending didn't quite tie up all the loose ends and I would have liked to see a short epilogue....or perhaps Sheila can write us another book about Isobel...hint hint. Edit: It turns out that apparently in one of the short stories in "Connections" Isobel's story continues and we get to find out what happened after. I haven't read this, just thought I'd let everyone know!

I enjoyed this book, as I usually do with Sheila O'Flanagan's novels, but I didn't like the main character, Isobel, much. I found her a bit whiny and too full of self pity.

I really enjoyed this boook and plan to order more of Ms.O'Flanagan books. I was so thrilled at how the book ended, not what I thought was going to happen. Two thumbs up!!!
